Illustration for 'Aeneid' by I. Kotlyarevsky 1919

Heorhiy Narbut's illustration for 'Aeneid' by I. Kotlyarevsky, created in 1919, depicts a scene of a group of armed men in traditional Ukrainian clothing. The artwork's vibrant colors and stylized figures are characteristic of Narbut's artistic style, which drew inspiration from Ukrainian folk art and ancient traditions. The artist, a prominent figure of the Ukrainian Renaissance, tragically died a year later, leaving behind a rich legacy of illustrations and designs that continue to influence Ukrainian art. This illustration is a testament to Narbut's talent and reflects the cultural revival movement that swept Ukraine in the early 20th century.
